The Noble History of Afternoon Tea

The luxurious ritual of Afternoon Tea was established in 1840 by Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford, who served it to ward off hunger pangs in the long hours between lunch and dinner. Her personal indulgence grew into an experience to be shared with her friends, and soon a tradition was born.

Acknowledged as one of the most elegant and sophisticated of dining occasions, the first Afternoon Tea at The Langham, London, was served in the Salle À Manger, or general dining room, for the princely sum of 1 shilling 6 pence. Billed as Teas, Plain, the first Afternoon Tea consisted of simple but dainty items including cakes, sweets, bread and butter and, of course, tea.

In 1865, The Langham, London was Europe’s first grand luxury hotel to serve Afternoon Tea. It is a Langham brand signature, called Tiffin at The Langham, and it is served at every Langham Hotel around the world to celebrate the stately ritual and timeless tradition.

We wish you a most memorable tea with us today.
